Chapter 1: Starting Reward - Yi Jin Jing!
The year 1473 of the Daqian era.
Manzhou, Linshui Prefecture, Yuechun County.
A dilapidated mountain god temple.
Xiao Bieli struggled to sit up, feeling as if her whole body was falling apart.
"here it is……?"
Looking at the dilapidated surroundings, Xiao Bieli was somewhat bewildered.
Didn't he spend 19888 yuan with a few clients at the club and have fun all night?
Who would play such a joke on him?
"hiss!"
A memory that didn't belong to him surged up.
'Go!'
'I'll hold them off!'
'...'
Scenes flashed by.
"I really time-traveled...?"
After a long while, he finally sorted out the memories in his mind.
He really did time travel!
The owner of this body was also named Xiao Bieli, the third young master of the Xiao family in Lechun County, Lin'an Prefecture. His mother died in childbirth, and his father was the second young master of the Xiao family. When he was six years old, he was engaged to Lin Qingyuan, the eldest daughter of the Lin family in Lin'an Prefecture.
The original owner and Lin Qingyuan were childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little.
Three years ago, Lin Qingyuan joined the Cangyuan Sword Sect, one of the Nine Sects and Six Gangs, and became a true disciple of the Cangyuan Sword Sect. The Lin family also moved to Qingzhou, and the two lost contact with each other.
A day ago, Lin Hai, an outer disciple of the Cangyuan Sword Sect, arrived in Lin'an County... Then his uncle Xiao Fusheng personally tried to kill him. If it weren't for the original owner's father and several loyal servants risking their lives to send him out, he would probably be dead by now.
Moreover, the original owner of this body witnessed her father die under Xiao Fusheng's sword. However, her father also had the cultivation level of the early seventh rank. In his desperate counterattack, Xiao Fusheng also suffered serious injuries.
Even so, the original owner was still stabbed by Lin Hai during the escape.
He probably didn't make it through, otherwise he wouldn't have been transported here.
Judging from the sky, not much time should have passed between the original owner's death and his transmigration.
"My unreliable father named me this because he liked the farewell hook of the ancient master. I never expected there to be such a coincidence!"
"However, even though I've transmigrated, this is truly a disastrous start!"
Xiao Bieli looked at the deep, bleeding wound on his chest, and felt a chill in his heart.
He can barely move now, and if this continues, he will surely die.
"system……?"
Xiao Bieli spoke softly.
In his previous life, he read a lot of novels, and a system was an essential item for transmigrators.
There was no response, and Xiao Bieli became a little anxious.
Is it going to end up like this after just transmigrating?
I wonder if I can travel back in time if I die now?
If we can go back, that's fine; if we can't, then we've lost a lot!
"System Daddy?"
【Ding! 】
[The experience reward system for defeating enemies is loading... Loading complete!]
[Binding successful. 】
The "Kill Enemies to Gain Experience" system is dedicated to serving its host and striving to cultivate them into the strongest warrior in the world!
[The host will receive experience points or item rewards for slaying enemies.]
Experience points can increase martial arts proficiency.
really……
Xiao Bieli was deeply moved!
Those authors were right; a system is an essential item for every transmigrator!
According to the original owner's memories, this world was home to powerful figures who could split mountains with a single sword stroke and cleave rivers with a single blade.
This body had also learned martial arts and was just a little short of completing the blood refining process, generating internal energy, and entering the ninth rank.
The path of martial arts is divided into nine ranks, with the ninth rank being the lowest and the first rank being the highest.
Those above the highest rank are known as terrestrial immortals.
[Host's injuries detected to be severe; system is automatically repairing...]
A gentle energy flowed into Xiao Bieli's body, making him feel warm all over, as if he were soaking in hot water.
After a few breaths.
As that feeling disappeared, Xiao Bieli felt full of power, and even the wound on his chest disappeared.
【Ding! 】
[A new player gift pack has been detected that the host has not yet claimed it. Would you like to claim it now?]
"receive!"
Xiao Bieli did not hesitate at all.
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the Grandmaster-level martial arts manuals 'Yi Jin Jing', 'Kuang Feng Dao Fa', and 'Bai Tu Dao', as well as 1000 experience points. Would you like to claim them immediately?]
【Ding! 】
[Successfully claimed. All martial arts skills have an initial proficiency level of 5%. Please check your account.]
Yi Jin Jing?
Xiao Bieli was overjoyed.
Xiao Bieli had heard of the famous Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic). It was a top-tier martial art of Shaolin, said to have been created by Bodhidharma. It was believed to have the effects of changing tendons and marrow, altering aptitude, and was also a powerful internal energy cultivation technique.
"receive!"
In an instant, a flood of memories rushed into Xiao Bieli's mind, as if he had cultivated the Yi Jin Jing for several years, and his body had also undergone Yi Jin and Dui Marrow Cleansing, emitting a foul stench.
His body was covered in a layer of black, greasy substance.
In just a moment, he had already mastered the Yi Jin Jing. A weak internal force arose from his dantian, quickly flowing through his limbs and bones, and then gathering in his dantian.
"Have I been promoted to a high-ranking position?"
Xiao Bieli was somewhat incredulous.
The original owner had practiced martial arts for many years without reaching the ninth rank, but now, with only 5% proficiency in the Yi Jin Jing, he has already stepped into the peak of the ninth rank.
As expected of a famous martial art from a previous life, this is already impressive with only 5% proficiency. If it were 100% proficiency, it would be incredible.
Xiao Bieli looked at the long sword in his hand.
"Oh!"
With a gentle slash, the offering table beside him shattered into pieces.
"Is this the strength of a rank-1 martial artist?"
Xiao Bieli spoke softly.
[Host: Xiao Bieli.]
[Cultivation Level: Peak of the Ninth Rank.]
【武功：易筋经（5/100）、狂风刀法（5/100），碧波掌（10/100）、黑虎拳法（20/100）。】
[Experience: 1000]
"Thank goodness for the newbie gift pack, otherwise I wouldn't have any experience points at all!"
Xiao Bieli spoke softly.
"The proficiency level of the two martial arts skills given by the system is still too low. I need to improve them first."
"The Azure Wave Palm and Black Tiger Fist are the original owner's cultivation techniques, just basic martial arts, so there is no need to improve them."
"I have exactly one thousand experience points left."
Xiao Bieli murmured:
"With the system around, I'll play it safe and develop my strength for a while before taking revenge."
He had no intention of avenging the original owner's father right now. Not to mention that the Cangyuan Sword Sect was one of the nine sects and six gangs in the world, even the original owner's uncle was a seventh-rank martial artist, which was far beyond what he could handle at present.
"Don't blame me."
"Let me kill a few more people first to increase my strength, and then I'll help you avenge this!"
Xiao Bieli sighed, then silently recited in his heart:
"Consume 100 experience points to upgrade Yi Jin Jing".
Xiao Bieli felt a surge of heat in his dantian, and a surge of internal energy rapidly circulated throughout his body. However, when he looked closely, the proficiency level of the Yi Jin Jing on the panel had not increased at all.
"This……"
"The Yi Jin Jing is an internal skill, and its quality is far superior to the Kuang Feng Dao Fa (Wind Blade Technique)."
"Let's try improving the Gale Blade Technique first."
"Consume 500 experience points to upgrade the Gale Blade Technique."
As Xiao Bieli's words fell.
His hands began to heat up, and countless experiences from practicing the Gale Blade Technique flooded into Xiao Bieli's mind, as if he had been practicing the Gale Blade Technique for decades.
And the panel in front of him changed to:
[Host: Xiao Bieli.]
[Cultivation Level: Peak of the Ninth Rank.]
【武功：易筋经（5/100）、狂风刀法（30/100），碧波掌（10/100）、黑虎拳法（20/100）。】
[Experience: 400]
"Proficiency increased by twenty-five points."
"One hundred experience points can increase proficiency by five points."
"Lin Hai and the Xiao family haven't seen my body, so they might not give up hunting me down."
“We still need to continue to improve.”
"Consume all experience to upgrade the Gale Blade Technique!"
A warm current surged through his body once more, and countless experiences from cultivating the Gale Blade Technique flooded his mind.
The proficiency level of the Gale Blade Technique on the panel has also changed.
【Whirlwind Blade Technique (50/100)】
"The Gale Blade Technique should be considered to have reached a high level, right?"
"It's enough for me now. I'll save the experience for improving my Yi Jin Jing."
Just now.
There was a sound of rapid footsteps.
"hurry up."
"There's blood here."
"It should be Xiao Bieli. The patriarch ordered that he must be found alive or dead."
A group of burly men wielding swords filed in.
The leader's face lit up with joy the moment he saw Xiao Bieli.
